The Dubai Public Prosecution issued a warning against letting people use bank cards and accounts or making deposits and transfers on the cardholder’s behalf without being aware of their actual intent. Additionally, officials cautioned community members particularly young people not to undervalue such acts, stressing that a financial transaction that appears normal or beneficial to one individual could become a complicated judicial issue if it is connected to illicit activities.
This happened after a young man let a friend use his bank card to buy games. As a result, he was sentenced to three weeks in detention while investigators looked into the case. However, it turned out that the card was actually used to buy drugs, and the appropriate authorities apprehended the real criminals.
This happened at the “Legal Chats on the occasion of International Law Day” session at Al Warqa Council, which was organised by the Community Development Authority (CDA) in collaboration with Dubai Public Prosecution. Consultants Dr. Mohamed Hussein Bin Ali, First Advocate General at Deira Prosecution, Shihab Ahmed Saleh, Advocate General at Family and Juvenile Prosecution, and Hamad Al Amiri, Prosecutor at the Public Prosecution’s Narcotics Prosecution. Participants stressed that the first line of protection against crime is legal awareness and prevention.
